WHEN IS AN EDUCATION?
"Never" is really the best answer to the question, when is an education attained? Especially true would be such a conclusion after evaluating the results of our modern institutions of learning, though in the broad scope of the universe there may be some individuals who have attained the goal.
The chief difficulty arises from the transitional nature of education itself. What constitutes education today is superstition and ignorance tomorrow. Only by keeping constantly on the trail can anyone even be said to be in pursuit of an education. And who is so bold as to say that college students are always bound for the magic goal?
At some length it could be shown that much of the current criticism of our syst mof pedigogy is directed at the foliables of curled youth and the serious intent of I. Q. psychologists, meanwhile overlooking the honesty of most genuine students. Those who may be correctly termed real students know full well the will 'o' the wisp nature of education; they are not easily fooled into believing that they have captured Truth, a Finality.
So while the clever free-lancers are having their pusture with education the undaudited scholars are, bit by bit, adding to the world's cumulative knowledge, thus by their very act pushing farther off both the horizon of ignorance and the possibility of attaining an education.
A CONGRESS FOR FLOOD RELIEF
Heavy rains, in this part of the country at least, long since have abated, and yet the lower Mississippi river valley continues to suffer from a castrophe in the prevention of which man is helpless. President Coolidge believes that the matter is not serious enough to necessitate the calling of another congress at this time. Secretary Heover terms the flood situation as "already a major national disaster."
While the officials of our government bicker, the great "father of waters" keeps on in its epoch making run. Leaves continue to crumble before the descending "ocean" and each successive day makes hundreds of additional families homeless.
"War" feets, one of 50 coast guard cutters and privately owned river streamers and 200 small boats, all flying the red cross flag, fight their ways through the waters to rescue the thousands of people of Louisiana. Another armada of a score of engineer boats and coast guard cutters from the Gulf and several hundred fishing smacks from the Gulf fishing grounds is being concentrated for a similar mission.
Intervention has come in behalf of the white and negro prisoners at Colafx, signed by 200 citizens, requesting clemency for those prisoners who worked on the Red river levee in the battle with the high water which threatened to sweep into Grant Parish.
The nation does not realize the seriousness of the flood. It is more than a single state can cope with. Can Louisiana be expected to wait until next November before a national flood relief program is launched by Congress for the lower Mississippi?
THE LAND OF ETERNAL—?
The great state of Florida is the latest one to take a healthy swat at poor old Darwin and his theory of evolution. By a vote of 67 to 24 the house of representatives voted to tie a can to the doctrine of the descent of man and send it the way of all flesh. All that is now needed to do away with the bacon business in the schools is a similar vote by the more august body, the senate. Then prestol Mr. Darwin's ghost and his theories will be spirted away over the boundary line of the state.
But nothing can stop progress! Not content to rock on her haunts at the foremost producer of real estate hot air (all mail advertising) and the greatest importer of the winter variety of flame-and blond millionaires and half-and buthing boutiques, the Land of a Million Dollars an Acre seeks to out-distance any of her sister states, even Tennessee. So the solan take a few precious hours off from their business of telling the world of the glories of Minni, Coral Gables and the Everglades (not to mention the two-day trips to Havana for a no-hookup drink) to deliver an official kick at the old renegade Darwin, (they call him Darwinx in the more prosperous districts).
This, remember, is the land where Ponce de Leon once searched vigilantly, but in vain, for the fountain of eternal youth.
MERELY A MYTH
Perhaps this really shouldn't be told, but—oh, well, here goes anyway. Apologies are offered to any who feel the need of them.
It seems that one time a young man who had completed three semesters of gymnastics work was forced to drop the course because of ill health. Time fitted awfully and the young man eventually became a senior, enrolled in a special exercise course to re-build his health.
Came then an instructor with the dictum: "Records of your previous gym work seem to have been lost. Unless you pass the freshman 100-foot swimming test, you flunk this course, and don't receive your degree."
Nothing loath, the obliging senior dived into the pool and swam the required distance, plus a few extra feet for good measure. As he crawled out of the pool, he was heard to inquire; "Well, if one must swim 100 feet for an A. B, how far must he swim for a Ph. D?"
THE FLUNK CURE
At last they have found it—the flunk cure—and how easy it is to take! Students will cry for it and recording to the dems of four great mid-western universities, if it will not rout or put to death all of the flunk germs in your system, it will at least make them powerfully sick and reduce their number surprisingly.
But now wait—don't get excited; there is nothing at all mysteries about it. It is one of those simple old cures that have been known for ages. But not until now has it ever been tried for flanking students. As a matter of fact, old King Solomon tried to get a patent on it and hence a monoply a way back there when he was alive. There is no catch or skin game to it; it has been tried and proven as a cure for more ills than ever existed, and the deans of universities recommend it. What? Why, marriage, of course.
These worthy gentlemen, according to a press report, have discovered definitely that weeded students do much better work than the unwelded. A very startling and for reaching discovery, to be sure, and considering the fact that the final examinations are still n周 off, it is believed by many to be timely enough still to be of great value. Quite a number of students, including some at K. U., seemed to have sensed its possibilities even before it was announced. You the rest—well, finals are still some days off.
The masonically affiliated student of the University of Southern California have sent invitations to other members of their阵 at all the college. In part of the state, to come and take part in an intercollege Ball.

Miss Coon has a sympathetic impiano voice and she used all of her vocal power in the interpretation of music. The two Italian numbers were especially plaining in the middle register, although her intimation was accurate in all ranges. The two Italian numbers were especially suited to display this accuracy of pitch and tone.
The group of Scotch numbers showed a pleasing, light quality of voice in their litting mobiles. They were Miss Coon's best numbers and were most enthusiastically received by the audience.
The variety of the last group showed the singer's ability to interpret expressively a minor strain in Czechmanhua's "Over the Steppa" with equal force as a lighter molder exemplified in "The Fairy Piper."
